Malik Davis is waived - but expected back on PS

[amame25]

I've been saying since the Spring practices that both Phil Mafah (Thunder) and Jaydon Blue (Lightning) should have been part of our active RB group alongside Javonte Williams and Hunter Luepke (FB), but Brian Schottenheimer doesn't know what he is doing or how to use them.

I know right? Everyone should know that a couch warrior fan knows much better how to utilize the players than a career football coach who sees said players in practice every day.

Not my fault I understand the game much better than you or some coaches.

They should nickname Malik "the cat" because dude has 9 lives. I swear that guy has been coming back and forth form the active roster and practice squad for a decade now.

“Boomerang”

Why don't they give him a few carries in regular season games? He often looks good in the preseason...

One carry for 3 yards didn't do much for me either.

The obvious reason is that Malik would be a progress stopper for the other young running backs.

He could end up being like Dowdle. Someone not many know about to one of the best in the league...

I don't know if Dowdle is truly one of the best in the league or if his line is. Every time I flip over to a Carolina game they are opening HUGE hole for him. I'm like "Good lord what is the defense doing here?" We know Rico is a hard running fool so if the line is getting him 3-4 yards before he even gets touched he's going to be a problem. Right now it shows he is getting 3.1 yards before contact then 2.5 after ... In contrast to that Javonte is getting 2.2 yards before contact then 2.9 AFTER. If you ask me it's Williams who is showing to be the better back of the two.

He always does but never gets a shot. We kept dowdle on the sideline for Zeke so RB evaluation hasn’t been great

Funny part. Dowdle is on a one year deal, Williams is a FA. We could end up with dowdle next year lol

We have waived that guy more times than a parade grand marshall can wave

 

[panchucko]

so what happen to the #2 RB competition.

lol. So true. Poor kid only been in the league 3 years and he’s been cut 6 times. But he’s made almost 1.6 million on 41 career carries so not too bad

Classic narcissist. What teams have you coached for again?

 

[Bullflop]

Here's hoping Malik Davis will be welcomed back to this team ASAP.

Davis has been a good soldier to this organization. I hope he gets an opportunity to shine the way Rico did and I hope he grabs said opportunity by the horns.

I felt all along that Davis displayed the quickness and moves that are needed to get the RB job. I'm not sure about his blocking but we'll see about that if he's destined to be given a chance.

J Williams was trying to kill Cardinals on pass blocking Monday, those were some blocks. Go back and watch some of his blitz pick ups they hurt through the TV.

We're doomed

band coach. 4-year starting coach.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

They should have had Blue active and played him. Another coaching mistake by BS. But he will learn from that, hopefully.

Blue hasn't been setting the world on fire.

He looks like a legit project to me. MAybe now that we are preparing to tank...is the time.
